Create Contacts from Excel or other spreadsheet app

Question

Create Contacts from Excel or other spreadsheet app

I have a list of about 1200 contacts for work in an excel file. Rather than manual type each one in I would like to be able to bulk upload the list directly into my iCloud contacts using different columns for the different fields of the contact.

Ex.

Column1, Column2, Column3,...

FirstName, Last Name, Phone,...

Is this possible?

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 10.2.1

I am sure that Excel will export CSV file - Comma Separated Values

Import or export text (.txt or .csv) files - Excel

You need to jump through a hoop or two to get them into iCloud... see this post for instructions
